Plans have been lodged to create a new five-star hotel and spa on the Salomons estate in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, UK.

The 56-bedroom complex would be sited towards the back of the 36-acre estate and, if planning permission is granted, two existing buildings, built in the 1970s will be demolished, with the hotel replacing a large greenhouse.

The three storey building will have three floors but due to height limitations of the boundary wall around the estate, two of the storeys will be built underground.

Salomons CEO Louise Clark has said the new design will include glass frontage, inspired by the old greenhouse and that included would be a spa, gym and restaurant.

A decision on planning permission is expected to come in April 2014 with a completion date of the first quarter of 2016.
